This place is a small town gem. Good atmosphere, friendly staff, and quality food.
I haven't had a bad experience here. They have fantastic onion rings. Not hand battered on site but still good. The chicken parm sandwich was warm and delightful.
Just watch your steaks. They have a new cook and he's learning still.

We go there on Friday nights for the buffet. Very nice selections and slightly different every other Fridays. Salad bar is fresh and a lot of toppings and selections to add to a salad.

Definitely a dive place, the kind we love to seek out. Lots of menu items. Our party had; Italian beef, fried cod sandwich and soup/salad bar. Large portions. Everyone enjoyed their selection.
As is typical now, one waitress for the whole lunch crowd. She did well and remained friendly but we struggled to get drink refills and or check.
We'll be back sometime to try supper, they had some tempting specials listed.

Food was pretty good, Saturday special was best plate,soup was really good. Waitress was ABSOLUTELY Horrible. Took away the food experience, never checked on us, no refill on drinks, table was covered in dirty dishes before food was served, waited over ten min for sandwich toppings. waited over a year to come here.
